"The training probably was the hardest part only because you have to get your body to a certain place to be able to do these things again and again and again," the actor said. "And so, we trained for like four intense months with Jedi school on top of that. And really anything you could think that you might need as a Jedi is what you learn in these classes. It was really intense but we got to do it together, and so it was fun."
